In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? Yes they did pea planting last year and enjoyed eating their fresh peas for morning tea and lunch-time and some just snacked on them when they arrived at school waiting for the classroom to ope.

“The children were excited about their kit. We reviewed our last year's learning about planting our peas and then eating them as they matured for morning tea and lunchtime. So some knew what to do with their seeds, while the others who were new to this learning watched, listened and copied their classmates. They dug up some soil and put it in their container. They made a hole int the soil, placed the seeds in the hole and covered them with more soil. Later they watered the container and we are now waiting for them to sprout.”

What future learning opportunities have arisen from this kit? All those mentioned above. We also planted hanging baskets outside our classroom as well as our vegetable garden so the kit was our beginning point, which inspired us to go further as the children really enjoyed it.

In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? After we planted the little garden league veges we were inspired to plant our own vegetable garden at school. We also bought in vegetables from home to make vegetable soup and try different types of vegetables.

“I loved the little garden resource. It was easy to plant and the children loved it. I would suggest a different type of pottle/package for the plants as these ones got very wet when watered and the stickers and garden labels came off due to this and it was also hard to keep the students name on. A popsicle stick is what I ended up using instead.”
